There is no issue before the country
so important as protecting the people
who are here against the hardsl FPS of
over.pop1lation and labor.competilion.
The silver and tariff questions become
insignificant when compared with the
question OF future comfort or misery.
Where there are no more than enough
people to do the work, there will never
be labor troubles or poverty. AS soon
as more men need work than there is
work, for trouble and hunger make
their appearance. A dense population

a nation but the increase is ut the cost
of individual comfort. Europe has

ing their passage to America where
the natural increase of the present
population will be sufficient within a
few years to crowd every avenue of
employment without any additions
from across the ocean. Even if it were
true that there is room here tor the
hosts who are coming, we shouldskeep
the room for those who are here, In
stead of holding out inducements for
labor competition, our government
should follow the example of France
and place tax on arrivals who come
here to strive against American work
ingmen.

THE RESERVATION.

The absurdity of retaining the Wal
ker River Reservation is growing
daily more apparent to those who live
in this country. but nothing has yet
been done to open even a portion. The
Indians do not nse the place; they pre-
fer hanging around the towns of the
whites. Were the Lake thrown open
they would still have as many privi-
leges as they now have and under the
stimulus of the white mems example
would probably do much more fishing
than at present. In no possible way
would there be any wrong done to the
tribe by the abandonment of the terri
tory which is now held practically for
nobody.

the FOREIGN INFLUX.

In the past few months the rush of
immigration to this country has as
stunned proportions which have COM
PEELED the attention of the most light
hearted optimists. The newspaper
reports ofthe number arriving on each
steamer have indicated the tremen-
dous proportions of the invasion, and
official statements are now beginning
to give US an opportunity to measure
II with accuracy. Last month 1864
immigrants not including those from
Canada and Mexico. entered the ports
of the United States. In single
month we arc asked TO assimilate a
heartier alien meal that England has
to digest IN five years. In the cor
responding month last year 55233
came. The boom had already begun
at that time, but 1t has been swell
ing since.
If Europe had begun Its exten.
sive migration TO America eighty or
o hundred years ago on the present
scale, 1t is hard to say what the pre-.
valing type in this country would have
been. Certainly it would not have
been English. We should have been
either a conglomerate of unrelated
races, like the nationalities of the
Balkan peninsula, or we should have
formed new people with a new
language. There is no element In
the present stream of immigration
sufficiently strong to impress Its char
acteristics upon the whole. The En-.
glish.speaking arrivals number one
third of the total number. In the
eleven months ending May the 3lst,
Great Britain and Ireland furnished
us 1870 275 Immigrants out of 417,S60.

and Poland, 32,4lS, Sweden and Nor.
way 4S.540, Italy 39,993, and other
countries lesser numbers
Clearly the maintenance of the
American type of mankind depends
ON the reserve force of our present
population. If the i'm migration were
not balanced by the natural increase
OF our native inhabitants. this would
soon cease to be an English speaking
country. And when we consider thai

If we should annex Ontario IN 1887,
Quebec in 1888, Sonora in 1899,
chihuahua in 1890, Coahulla 1891, and
30 on, adding one state annually until
we reached the Isthmus and the Pole,
most people would think we were
risking our digestion. We are doing
the same thing in another form. The
Immigration this year will probably
equal the population of Maryland

Whatever else may happen, we may
